It's so reassuring that the Russians are the baddies again.
So much easier to understand than that complicated religious stuff.

And this is why the west is doomed.
Until the commies/jihadists/ fotm bad guys are knocking on our doors everyone is content as long as their lifestyle isn't harmed.
I miss a strong American threat. Everyone knew who was the enemy.

Can't we all just play Red Alert 2 again instead?Another volunteer for the trenches here.
A single UK sub could end Russia in a day...not sure what that point is? Assuming you mean a boomer.
Doesn't UK only have one 'doomsday' sub that is actively in the water at a time? Considering the fleet of Russian killer subs, I'd be concerned. Plus even if it launches full payload, a lot of it could be intercepted.
Intercepted by what exactly? Russia has zero capability to intercept a ballistic missile, I'd be interested to know what you think they posses in this field.

With the rumours of S-400 and S-500 being able to do so as well.
So assuming the super 95' era interceptors are still tip top, they protect all off ... Moscow.
S-400 has proven to be over rated
make a cup of coffee .
So much time and effort into this thing that nobody really knows capabilities of other than the Russian military themselves but they failed at the one main thing, to live up to alchal's expectations. Mighty failure for the ruskies today, condolences.
If only I knew beforehand that alchal is a Field Marshal of the UK military with classified information that surpasses Russian own knowledge I would have never doubted him in the first place.
I mean it's not usual remember when the patient was the be all and end all of missle defence with dozens of successful interceptions.
And a few decades later it came out the only thing it ever hit was a UK harrier or two

Absolutely, I agree.
It's just with regards to S400 as far as I am aware (and perhaps I missed something big since I don't follow military hardware much) S400 has never been actively used or observed to be used in real life deployment. Hence they were never observed to be effective or not. It is of course a very reasonable view to think that S400 paper stats are exaggerated but the Field Marshal alchal apparently has inside classified russian information that shows that S400 is, and I quote, "over rated". It was that line that sweeping outlandish pointless thing to say rather than nuanced addition to the discussion that for example Rroff later provided, which is far more useful rather than "S400 has proven to be over rated".
China has done a bunch of tests with their S-400s - obviously that isn't the same configuration though as the Russian ones.
I think this is one of the most in-depth looks at them though http://www.diva-portal.org/smash/get/diva2:1410288/FULLTEXT01.pdf
Yes, appears I am out of touch. Cheers for the link, will have a read!
